This book will keep you intermittently laughing and cheering, and despite the book's sizable length, you'll be nothing but sorry it's over when you come to the final page. (Hint: The author assures me he's working on a sequel even as I write this. And I can't wait to read it!) There's a bit of the bawdy in this book but nothing explicit.
